The window decorations in Win95 are in fact pixel-for-pixel copies of the ones in NeXTSTEP.
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoNote that NeXTstep actually did the right thing with window controls -- close is on opposite side of the window from the others, so you can't accidentally hit it. Windows3 and Motif hid this stuff under a menu, so wasn't a huge concern. But then Windows95, and then (oddly) MacOS through this away in favour of throwing them all together. Awareness of spatial patterns / frequency of use seems to have been higher among early UX/UI designers than after. I guess maybe because mice became more accurate?
